The ACNH Rant Thread

So, this is probably not that common of an issue, Im guessing, but the couch multiplayer needs some serious smoothening. My boyfriend is living on my island and we regularly play together in the evening. While swapping main player is fairly smooth, the second player deserves more rights in local multiplayer imo. A quick summary of our most important points:
- Greatly reduce the animation time when the 2nd player picks up an item! This is for sure the most annoying
- Would be cool to chose whether the items the 2nd player picks up lands in his inventory (would be good for our case) or in the collection bin at residental services
- Better options for swapping tools as 2nd player! You can open the emotes menu but not the tool belt as 2nd player? Its really exhausting to scroll through all with just the Y button. When we speak of it: There should also be a button for removing the tool you're currently using.
- Enable 2nd player to join in on Island designer so you can terraform TOGETHER (currently, only the main player can use the island designer. when swapping main player, the safety hat comes off and you need to restart app, etc.)
- Please enable to swap main players when swimming in the ocean (currently you need to go on land to swap). Also, the camera is getting changed weird when youre diving with another player -not making it easier to catch the sea creature.
- Very disappointing was New Years though: The second player couldnt hold the fizzy apple juice or lightstick!! Only the main player could. When we swapped the 2nd player lost hold of it. Weirdly, only the sparklers could be held by the 2nd player. Thanks Nintendo for this. I waved my stick and cheered for both of us.
- The other events (that we always did together) were a bit repetitive as we got the same items in the same order when doing the same. Would be cool to have a liiiittle bit of rotation. But i guess thats fine, as this is probably not the most used game mode

Think that was it All of this probably isnt as easy to implement, cause it might depend on how many players join in locally and other things. Probably looks a bit different when you play 2 players vs. 4 players. Thanks for a place to "let if off" anyhow!

I agree with New Years. My mom made a character on my island to play occasionally and we did new years together for fun. It was disapointing that we both could not toast or wave the light stick at the same time

I got Mom's Art which is a picture in a frame that you can customise. Actually I'm sad I didn't get it for my original character, I would have liked more than one since there aren't enough pictures to hang up in this game. (Unless you're not donating Redd's artwork to the museum)

I tried time traveling back several times on my original character and I never got the letter. So annoying.

Alright, this is BS. There are so many times that I had to hunt for the seasonal diy that Isabelle is supposed to give you because she never downloaded it to my phone. Glitches like this should not get a free pass. It's just another flaw in a game that has quite a few.

Also, I am having a heck of a time getting the summer DIYs on the southern hemisphere island. It wasn't this hard last June when I had a northern island. It's like getting all the good DIYs is harder now. Not sure if RNG changed or it's just a misperception. I want the underwater wall and am due to receive it but I keep getting bidets and plastic pools and such.

Why is the lighting in Nook's so bad? More than once I have bought an item after checking my catalogue thinking that it's a color variant that I don't have only to put it outside or in my house and realize that I already did despite it looking completely different when I compared them...

I get that they separated the color variants instead of having it be like in ACNL where you just had to buy one for all of the colors because there's not many items sold in the shop in ACNH but I wish they'd say the name of the color (e.g. "That's a pink table setting") so that I knew what I was getting...

I'm a completionist at heart but I've basically given up on having a full catalogue of clothing. Buying clothes at the sisters' is so exhausting that makes me lose any excitement about the clothes because it becomes a chore. I look at certain clothes that would look lovely on my villagers but when I'm trying to keep track of which items and which variations I'm buying for me and for them I get lost. My small brain cannot keep up without having a notebook by my side. I normally end up buying something that is only for my villagers or only for me

Dude, same thing happened to me yesterday. There was this celebration candle thing that I only had in black color. The shop made it look like copper/bronze. Turns out it was just black.

Hopefully in one of the many upcoming events we will get multi-selection when buy-ing at able sisters which should help with buying full sets of clothes

I hate that when I buy clothes it gets sent to my storage if I don't want to wear it out. And if I do my clothes I was wearing get sent. It's so stupid. They had to know this was inconvenient. If this was to avoid problems due to full storage, they could had just made them not be able to buy clothes unless they sent it directly to the storage.

Like 'Oh you're pockets are full, would you like us to send it to your home?'

I really hope so. It would be great to have a shopping cart!

I personally dont have much of a problem in this regard tbh with you and i dont mind very much that they send home to my storage the clothes i buy. What bothers me is that, i might want to buy 5 dresses at the same time and i just cannot do it at once as the game is right now ill have to exit the dress room 5 times to buy those dresses and i find it a little bit time consuming and bothering.

I'm not disagreeing with that. I don't like that bit either. It's why I don't bother buying much clothes. But when I do, it's usually because I want to replace a piece a villager is wearing. And so I either have to wear it out and go nakey or go back to my storage. Either way is inconvenient for me.

HMM i just understood the reality and what you meant with your comment, i normally always go home anyways cause i want to wrap in a specific color for each villager so thats why i was never in this position. Now i understand what you mean and it makes sense what you are saying, I guess what they would have to do is upgrade the possibility to have like @kefkiroth said a shopping cart to enable bulk purchases and then they would have to add a small dialogue asking you instead if you want to wear it, if you would want it to be send home or to take it with you

I agree, luckily the DIY thing hasn't happened to me yet. I don't know if you saw my post but I ended up getting mom's letter so anyone who missed it might receive it in the coming days. I still wonder how a glitch like that even happens lol. Or maybe it's not a glitch? Hmm.

Either way, it shouldn't be hard for Nintendo/AC to have things happen when they are supposed to. All the other AC games had letters (or whatever) show up on the date they were supposed to.

I also experienced the letter glicht, i read so many pp getting mum letters after new years and i was like “hmm i dont know what i have dont but my virtual mum does not love me that much for some reason” . I already got my letter ! I guess there was a storm or something and thats why some of us got delayed mail

Hahaha my Mom’s letter must’ve been affected by that storm because I just got mine today!

My friend used to sleep in until 1 PM nearly daily in college. She was a major night owl and had afternoon classes most of the time.

On my first island, I used zen bridges with no problem. I had 2 or 3 of them that looked great. Ditto for my second island. I had a brick bridge and a stone bridge and a wooden bridge and a blue iron bridge. I used a variety of bridges with no problems. Ditto for paths. And fences. But on my more recent islands, I can't seem to make anything but stone bridges and suspension bridges work. The zen bridge has a high profile and situating it nicely can be challenging. As for paths, I keep using the same The Path and a worn cobblestone path that I like. Someday I may shake things up, but not today, I guess.

 

[SlEEPYTEARRS]

i feel like nintendo waiting to fix things/make some things easier (like batch crafting) to keep people playing until theyre fixed later on in a random update is horrible

this is how you loose people. way too late to fix some of this stuff that should have happened in the first few months. like one thing is that they implemented sending stuff home from harvey's island at the beginning of wedding season, which means it works on islands, they just haven't released it for the mystery islands for some...odd reason

i mean okay i get why, its to make you waste more time by having to leave when your inventory is full and then use another ticket

i still hate that villager hunting is fun but loses steam because of just how much you need to press and talk to get to each island
